A question for Christians, this is something that has had me puzzled for a while so if you could please explain the logic behind it then I would be thankful. Now correct me if I am wrong but the main message of Jesus was not to judge others, so why in a court do people swear in front of a book that’s most important message is not to judge in a building that’s purpose it to judge. I can see only three reasons why this could be 1) you think you are better at making judgments then Jesus 2) You haven’t thought about it 3) something I haven’t thought of
This has confused me for a while and if and of you could clear this up I would be thankful.

Originally posted by Will EverittQuite simply, Jesus was saying that it was not up to human beings to decide who is condemned to Hell. The word 'judge' is used in the sense of condemning, not jurisprudence.

Originally posted by Will EverittRight, JESUS did say that we are not to judge others. HE also said, in the same way you judge others. You will be judged in the same way.

HE also said that we ere not to swear an oath. Our answers should simply be, yes or no.
The swearing on the BIBLE, was started by the founding fathers, of this country.

Originally posted by Will EverittThe Bible says that God judges, and that we are to tell the truth. The swearing part I’m not too sure about, but the concept is simple. Tell the truth or risk damnation.
